Win7 install with multiple/all the FAILS! Satellite P750 (PART NO. PSAY3A-02T001)

Laptop: Toshiba Satellite P750 (PART NO. PSAY3A-02T001)
Installing: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (64 bit)
Background: Laptop is around 2-3 years old now. Formatting and installing a fresh copy of Win7. Doing this for a close friend.
Issue #1: Using the "Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool" off the microsoft website, I attemped to install Win7 via USB drive (had so many issues before using this tool ). It boots to USB perfectly and starting going through the installation options. When it gets to "Where do you want to install Windows?"  (creating and seleting HDD partitions) I hit a major road-block!
p.s. USB in USB2.0 as I originally tried 3.0 and coudln't even make it that far....
I get the Error "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing systm partition. See the Setup log files for more information." Basically the Primary disk is created but the system disk wont.
p.s. The HDD still does show up and worked before this all. it's not a failed HDD.
I've tried (most of these were "Fixes" I found on forums that never worked):
1. Creating different size partitions, multiple partitions, leaving GB's of "Unallocated Space" hoping it will create a system partition. Didn't work.....
2. Formating the whole HDD using Command-line and wiping it completely clean. Honestly, this was stupid because now I cannot even go back! Didn't work.....
3.Changing BIOS settings and praying it will work. Most of the BIOS settings these fixes told me to change, aren't actaully on this Toshiba model. I even restart to default settings. Didn't work....
4. Even tried a "load Drivers" fix I found. The fix asked for a SATA driver, but I got every driver just incase. Not a single driver even appeared on the "Select the driver to be installed" screen. Unticked the "hide drivers.." box also... So that didn't work either...
At this point I was pretty mad so I went and purcahsed some DVD-RW's to burn the ISO onto and try that instead.
Issue #2: Using the same tool as before, I installed Win7 onto a DVD. I then ran the DVD on my PC to test and the setup.exe showed up. I then put the DVD in the Toshiba laptop and using F12 to select "ODD        TSSTcorp CDDVDw TS-L633F" (the other options were "HDD/SSD, USB and LAN).
p.s. The DVD drive lights up and I can hear it reading the disc (normal slight humm).
I then get:

To me, this is the LAN controller boot, but it didn't even read the disk.
I've tried (and again, most of these were "Fixes" I found on forums that never worked):
1. Changing Boot priorities and settings. I even tried to disable LAN boot in BIOS (but you cannot on this model). Didn't work..
2. Yelling at it and holding myself back from hitting it with a hammer. Still attempting..
3. Praying to a higher power. Didn't work...
Ideas I have left that may work:
1. Downloading and burning a different ISO. maybe even trying 32bit. (was 64bit before starting)
2. Waiting for someone much smarter than me to reply on this post and help me!
3. Telling my friend that "It's not my problem, while I run off into the sunset!"
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP! This is doing my head in!
and yes, I've tried turning it off and on again 

oh my **bleep**ing god...... I am so mad right now! 95% butthurt infact!
MY RAGE IS STRONG!
Just found out off the owner that the DVD drive doesn't work.. 
SO! The DVD drive doesn't work and it seems like the only way to install Win7. I have a feeling that this model doesn't do USB very well....
will an external DVD drive work for this? or some I find someone with a toshiba that has the same model dvd drive inside and swap them for an hour while I do it...
or should I try LAN... havn't one LAN install in a home environment before..

  • If I buy Lion from apps store can I install it on all the Macs I own?

    If I buy Lion from apps store can I install it on all the Macs I own?

    Yes. Each one needs to have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed in order to re-download from the App Store unless you make your own USB flash drive installer:
    Make Your Own Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
    4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that  you can use without having to re-download Lion.

  • My MacBook has become too slow with almost all the applications and with Mail it it worst. Almost like hang.

    I am using MacBook with 4GB RAM and 500GB hard disc, 2.26GHz CPU, Mountain Lion OS. The machine has become so slow it hamperes lots of work as with almost all the application it beclome unresponsive and hang like.
    Also disc permission changes over the period of time and need to clean it. After clean it, it improves a bit but the Mail function which is ridiculously slow. Address book never function to remove duplicate.
    Kindly ifnorm the solution if anybody have.

    If you do a safe boot, holding the shift key down while booting, do you have the performance issues? If not, check your login items as well as any software listed at the bottom of the System Preferences pane. A software incompatibility could cause performance issues. Note a safe start will take longer than a normal start.

    No, downgrading from any version of iOS to an earlier version is not supported.

  • Is there a way not to have to use the disk to start or exit Adobe Premiere Elements 13. I do not want to have to carry a disk around with me all the time.

    Is there a way not to have to use the disk to start or exit Adobe Premiere Elements 13. I do not want to have to carry a disk around with me all the time.

    tljtommy
    There is a known No Disc error using Premiere Elements 13.
    The fix is to delete the OldFilm.AEX file which is found in Window 8.1 64 bit
    Local Disk C
    Program Files
    Adobe
    Adobe Premiere Elements 13
    Plug-ins
    Common
    NewBlue
    and in the NewBlue Folder is the OldFilm.AEX file that you delete.
    Adobe first posted this information in one of the threads here, and it has worked for essentially all who have
    gotten the No Disc error in Premiere Elements 13.
    Please let us know if this works for you also.
    Thank you.

  • I bourgt 10.7 Lion, but i cnt´t install it. All the last updates are downloaded. I see the sign of the lion, but not clear- there stand the download stopped. How can i continue the download?

    i bourgt 10.7 Lion, but i cnt´t install it. All the last updates are downloaded. I see the sign of the lion, but not clear- there stand the download stopped. How can i continue the download?

    In that case, drag the Lion installer from your application folder to the trash. Empty trash. Now press option key and click on 'purchased' tab. The button next to the Lion installer now should say 'install' click on that to download again.

  • I put together and sent 10 pictures from my granddaughter's birthday party. Is there a way of sending them with a link recipients can click on, rather than having all the pictures download as part of the email message?

    I put together and sent 10 pictures from my granddaughter's birthday party. Is there a way of sending them with a link recipients can click on, rather than having all the pictures download as part of the email message?

    Hello userlarry, do you have Mobile Me? You could use that. Or you could compress them, you would still need to send them in an email, but it would help with size limitations of emails.
    To compress them, put them in a folder and right click on the folder. You should see a Compress option. Then just drag the .zip file into your mail.

    If you haved tried all the fixes and suggestions, there is not much to add. Just in case: did you really try using this tool http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html to first eliminate all traces of Reader, and then use the full offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/?

  • Should I run Firefox with Rosetta all the time?

    I was just wondering if it's a good idea to run Firefox with Rosetta all the time or will the browser run faster if I turn it off when it's not needed?
    I need to turn it on enough to make me think it'll be easier for me if I leave it on all the time.

    It will run faster and use less memory if you let it run natively- whether the loss in speed is made by the convenience of not having to switch it (for whatever reason you're switching) is a personal calculation.

  • My Mac have 2x4 (8GB) of ram but after installing Lion os x I can see 2x2 (4GB) or Ram only, I have tried every slot with swaping all the slots.

    Friends I have upgraded my SL to Lion after installing I see only 4 GB of ram out of 8 gb (2gb x 4), I have tried all the options changing slots and swaping ram to different slots and card also.
    V' Sam.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply... I just downloaded your recomended software, this software test the memory which is in the list of system, which system says these memory slots are availble. but the issue with my system is different. My all ram slot are working well on both memory slot cards, but in actuall I have 4 memory sticks of 2gb each (8gb) which was installed on one card and when I installed Lion OS X it is showing only 4 GB of memory 2 memory sticks are showing only other 2 memory sticks are not showing in machine when we start and see in system information. I replaced 2 memory sticks with other they were also working and I even tried placing all memory sticks on other memory slot card they were also working but only 2 slots are showing... only 2 memory sticks of 2 gb - 4 GB out of 8 GB.

  • Single SOA Suite Install with multiple oc4j instances and java processes

    We right now have 5 BPEL processes and 5 ESB processes all running under one java.exe process. We would like to seperate some of
    them out into their own java.exe processes without having to install more
    %ORACLE_HOME% instances of SOA Suite. I can create an oc4j instance but of
    course it doesn't have any SOA Suite stuff deployed to it. I tried to see what
    the install would do with this new oc4j instance but it wants to create a new
    %ORACLE_HOME% with an entire installation of SOA Suite.
    Is there some sort of way to clone oc4j instances that have SOA Suite deployed to them so that you
    don't need multiple %ORACLE_HOME% instances?
    ### How is this Issue Impacting Your Business ###
    We really don't want to have a lot of %ORACLE_HOME% instances to have to maintain. We are
    migrating projects over from our current integration server product and we'll
    have potentially dozens more BPEL and ESB projects. We definitely want to
    group and isolate projects so that outages of one project do not bring down
    others that are unrelated.
    We are currently experiencing periodic problems with one BPEL project that requires recycling but all the other BPEL and ESB
    projects get recycled also. If we could put this project into it's own java
    process without creating another SOA SUITE instance, it would be a big
    help.
    ANSWER
    =======
    You can create multiple domains in BPEL or create multiple systems/groups in ESB to group different projects.
    MY REPLY:
    =========
    We have been using systems/groups in ESB but they all run under the save java.exe process. I would assume that having a seperate domain in BPEL would also run in that same java.exe process.
    Right now, the one BPEL project we have a problem with will gobble up all the JDBC connections from time to time and that requires a recycle of SOA Suite, which means all BPEL and ESB projects that run in that java.exe process get recycled also. We're working that issue in a different ticket.
    It would be nice if the SOA Suite installation would install against a new oc4j instance and not assume it has to create a complete %ORACLE_HOME% instance. The components of SOA Suite seem to be J2EE based components.
    Scenario: I already have an oc4j instance called oc4j_soa and a complete %ORACLE_HOME% installation of soa suite. I then create a new oc4j instance from Enterprise Manager. Then I would deploy the esb-dt, esb-rt, orabpel, etc. components of SOA Suite to that new oc4j instance and modify the necessary config file so that it can work with OHS and the SOA Suite Databases. Is this possible?
    Does anyone have any experience with this or do people typically install multiple complete installation of SOA Suite with mulitple Oracle Homes?

    Hi,
    yes, on metalink you get in touch with real experts....
    You have to install serveral application servers to get different ORACLE_HOMEs.
    For each one, you can install a BPEL PM.
    But: For each BPEL PM you need your own database instance, or you have to configure them as a clustered BPEL installation.... (but i do not know if this work with non RAC DBs)

  • I cannot install ICS update(All the available updates @ Lenovo)

    Hey guys I was using CM7 for a while , then i had frequent reboot problem with the CM7 ROM. Then i tried installing the ICS update version A107I0_A404_001_014_0116_US.zip

    Reboo now
    Wipe data
    Factory reset
    Touch calibration.
    I used the below method suggested at xda dev. Remove CWM > Flash stock recovery > Install ICS update > Flash CWM again > Wipe/Factory reset > Reboot.
